I once again feel like you were writing my story. H is a people pleaser. He gets stressed and angry instead of being honest and saying/doing what he wants to do. He lies to me inorder for him to do whatever he wants.
I am thick skinned like you. I will repeat myself until someone listens. I feel I am easy to talk to, upbeat and easy going. I am honest which only adds to my PMA. H is such the opposite of me and he too is overly sensitive just like your H.
My H is a first born child. I am the youngest of 4. I think both of our personalities have alot to do with our birth order.
I agree with you. We need to except them for who they are and learn how to communicate better with them but they also need to meet us halfway. I will listen better and I hope H will learn to be more open and honest about his feelings. When everything is said and done I think it is important to agree to disagree. Some issues may never be settled.
One of my sister's and my mom are very controlling/opinionated people like me and I am much more intune now to how at times they drive me crazy, especially when they try to tell me what to do. I have been trying very hard to not do this to my H as I can now understand how detrimental that can be. nik
